6mth Principality Regular Saver, maturity process tips please

pafpcg

Principality maturities:  the options won't appear until 14 days before maturity - try again tomorrow (Sunday 21st).  There'll be a banner across the account that's due to mature.

PS:  Once you've entered your choices, you won't be able to change them without ringing Principality or sending a secure message.

Thank you so much for humouring me bumping this old-ish thread.

You were absolutely correct, this morning the maturity options have appeared. Not 1, not 2, not 3 ... but the magic 4th option to open a second regular saver bond is also showing.

Thanks again

Don't expect them to honour that option though. Would be a nice bonus then if they do.

Agree, it's a stretch, but worth a try. Worst case is they'll just send an extra £200 to my linked account.

The main thing is that for maturity instructions, you don't message them (which would probably be guaranteed to fail in opening a 2nd RS) but instead wait for < 14 days til maturity for a magic popup box to appear on their website.

Whatever happened to the suggestion of wearing of a green shirt when selecting another reg saver ? I believe there were quite a few who saw this as a winning ticket. Those people thinking it doesn't work are probably the same bunch who now no longer believe in Santa. 😁😁

If it's of any help to anyone, I was wearing a dressing gown when selecting another regular saver. With Percy Pig pyjamas underneath. Neither the dressing gown nor the percy pigs were green. Hope That Helps.

Of course Santa exists. He lives at the North Pole.

Thanks folks, maybe I should do a Poll on Option 2 v Option 4, ha ha.

I have opened a new Issue 4 RS and will go via Option 2 for the 'maturing' Issue 3 RS.

I will also try and apply for it over the weekend online, possibly after midnight as hinted on here.

Oh, and just to be extra sure - I will wear my green camouflage jumper and maybe a tin foil hat

I successfully did this via OPTION 2, on a Sunday evening around midnight - not aware whether it was a full moon, couldn't find a green jumper but crossed my fingers and legs for good measure

And then...

Even if Principality accept your request and open a new replacement 6-Month saver, they may retrospectively spot the excess number of Issue4 regular savers and close the just-opened account.  It happen to me today - opened yesterday, closed today with a secure message.  

I'll console myself with still having five Issue4 accounts - four more than allowed by the T&Cs.

My Issue 3 is maturing and it's given me the option to open an issue 4, so rolling the dice in case it allows me to have a second.
